Wagtail Link Block

A link block to use as part of other StructBlocks which lets the user choose a link either to a Page, Document, external URL, Email, telephone or anchor within the current page and whether or not they want the link to open in a new window.

It hides the unused fields, making the admin clearer and less cluttered.

Installation

Using pip:

$ pip install wagtail-link-block

Edit your Django project's settings module, and add the application to INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    "wagtail_link_block",
    # ...
]

Usage

To use in a block

from wagtail_link_block.blocks import LinkBlock

class MyButton(StructBlock):
    text = CharBlock()
    link = LinkBlock()

    class Meta:
        template = "blocks/my_button_block.html"

And create the template blocks/my_button_block.html:

<a href="{{ self.link.get_url }}" {% if self.link.new_window %}target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"{% endif %}>
    {{ self.text }}
</a>
